The thing I like best about this recipe is it is so versatile. You can change the meats, swap beans or rice for potatoes, and still come out with a great burrito. This is the version I like best. Another plus, is that you can serve these for a large number of people, or wrap leftover burritos individually and store in a quart or gallon freezer bag and heat for another day's breakfast!

How To Make breakfast burritos

  • 1
    Brown the sausages in a skillet, breaking up the regular pork sausage as it cooks so it crumbles; drain and set aside.
  • 2
    While sausage is cooking, preheat the oven to 350° F. Wrap the tortillas in foil; place on an ungreased baking sheet and heat to soften about 10 minutes. Also shred the potatoes while cooking the sausage.
  • 3
    Add the potatoes, green pepper, and onion to the skillet you cooked the sausage in. (Remove grease until it equals about a tablespoon and a half, unless you really like that sausage grease taste....some people like to leave it all.) Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender.
  • 4
    Add the sour cream to the beaten eggs and whisk until blended. Add the egg mixture, melted butter, salt, and pepper to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are firm, but still moist.
  • 5
    Remove from the heat, and stir in the reserved sausage.
  • 6
    Work with one tortilla at a time, keeping the remaining tortillas covered and warm,. Place about 3/4 to 1 cup egg mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up tightly, and place, seam side down, in a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Repeat with each tortilla.
  • 7
    Cover and bake at 375° F for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and bake an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
  • 8
    Serve with the taco sauce/salsa, and garnish with avocado and cilantro if desired.
  • 9
    To freeze leftover burritos, wrap them individually and then put in a Zip-Loc freezer bag. Place in the freezer.. Defrost in the microwave for 3-4 minutes and reheat for 1 minute. You may want to add some extra cheese while reheating the last 30 seconds.
